No tricks..

Hey everyone!

  This week was pretty good, chilly but good. We took the priests on a tour of the mission office, it wasn't too exciting or eventful, the office isn't that exciting haha. It turned out that I didn't even need to use the key to the mission office, the assistants were there and had it all open and everything for us, so that was kinda nice. Sometimes we do take the priests to lessons with us, not a whole lot though. In other wards Ive been in we've done it more though. And ya, we do get fed soups a decent amount up here.  Like last night at dinner we did.  It was more of a stew, but we had bear and vegetable soup, it was really good. I got your halloween box last week, thank you! The socks are gonna be great, I used a pair last week, they're gonna be good. And no, I haven't gotten the question letter yet. But today I have my dentist appointment to fix me up. 

  We were able to teach Rebecca on Tuesday, and we taught her the restoration. It went really well, she told us that she lost alot of sleep the night before because she was praying all night to know if this is the true church and if she should join it, and she got her answer and it was yes. She said "is it true that you have to wait a year to be baptized?" haha so we cleared that up and told her that she can be baptized after two weeks as long as she's been taught all the lessons and has attended church twice. This is probably going to be a super quick baptism. She's awesome, she's already seen the prophet of the restoration video(which made teaching the restoration easy since she pretty much knew it already) before we even met her, she has a copy of the book of mormon that her friend gave her, and she has an articles of faith card. Were teaching her again tonight at a members home, it should go super good.

  We were able to see Kate last night, we taught her about the word of wisdom. It was good, she didn't really have any questions about it. The only concern she had was with green tea.  She loves green tea and couldn't understand why it would be against the word of wisdom. But we helped her understand why it would be, and she said that it makes sense. 

  We saw sister H, she's still doing good. We met with her twice this week and read 6 chapters with her. She's probably going to convert, I think it'll just take a long time.

  This week we got in with a guy named Ted, he's this super funny, loud voice guy. The sister missionaries found him on a district tract and we haven't been able to catch him at home until now. We pretty much just got to know him this time, he dominated the conversation pretty good haha.  But we gave him a gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet and he wants us to come back. He told us that next time we come over we're going to do all the talking and he's gonna have questions because he's gonna read from the book of mormon(the sisters gave him a copy when they met him). So next time we see him it should be good.

  It sounds like everyones doing pretty good for the most part. The halloween parties sound like they were probably pretty fun, hopefully you guys have a fun halloween too. Mine's gonna be interesting, we're supposed to be in our apartments at 7 on halloween unless we get special permission.   Well, i'm glad to hear that you guys are doing good and keeping busy with all the parties, fence stainings, geneology classes, interesting temple sessions, ARCs, going to powows and sorting through boxes, and hopefully you guys have a wonderful week! Sorry this emails not longer, I gotta get going to the dentist, woo hoo. Bye!
